Manna for Your Morning

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. — Psalms 1:1-3 (NASB1995) To be firmly planted and able to bear fruit, we need to meditate in the Holy Scriptures day and night.  Joshua 1:8  (NKJV) says: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit. — Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NASB1995) Thus says the LORD, “ Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD .” (Jeremiah 17:5 NASB1995) We can position ourselves on the path of blessing or curses. When we trust in people and the power of our own strength, we are planting ourselves on shifting sand. We will eventually be disappointed, weak and hopeless. However, the person who believes and trusts in, and relies on YAHWEH, is planted on the firm foundation of God. They will be blessed, strengthened and full of peace and hope. Now that you have welcomed the Anointed One, Jesus the Lord, into your lives, continue to journey with Him and allow H...

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. — Colossians 2:6-7 (NASB1995) May we walk in union with Christ, our Savior, always reflecting His character in the things we do and say, and living lives that lead others away from sin. (See Colossians 2:6 AMP) Let the seed of the Holy Scriptures fall on the good soil of your heart, and you will be deeply rooted, and continually built up in Him. Those who hear and accept God’s word produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted! (See Mark 4:20 NLT)  How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, ...

To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory. — Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) Those who are planted in the Kingdom of God, will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. (See Isaiah 61:3 AMP) God’s blessings follow you and await you at every turn: when you don’t follow the advice of those who delight in wicked schemes, when you avoid sin’s highway, when judgment and sarcasm beckon you, but you refuse. (Psalm 1:1 VOICE) Instead, delight in the law of the LORD, and in His law meditate day and night. Then you will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which bears fruit each season and its leaves never wither. And in whatever you do, you shall prosper and com...

Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. — Hebrews 12:28 (NLT) The Passion Translation says, … we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights his heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe. When we are firmly planted in the Kingdom of God, we are not moved by worldly circumstances. For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17 NLT) Seek first the Kingdom of God and He will take care of the things that concern you. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then all these things will be given to you too. — Matthew 6:33 (VOICE)
